I am one of those girls that will rock a heel until my foot falls off and my back is killing me. In my crazy head, fashion equals pain. But for all of you that are a bit more rational, there are some pretty killer flats that would look stunning with any wedding dress. In fact, there are WAY more flat options than heels…from ballet flats, to thongs, sandals and even kitten heels. There is so much cuteness out there for girls that want to look adorable while still being ultra-comfy.
Oh and just a quick sidenote. We’ve kept the palette neutral, as we are working hard on a “pops of color” post…great hued shoes, clutches and hair accessories for girls looking for a little splash of fabulous. To come in the next few weeks (so excited). But for now, we’re back to the task at hand. The perfect wedding flat…

Row I: I spotted these little gems when I was in Banana Republic the other day and I have to say, they are WAY cuter in person. They have this really soft, metallic color that is as elegant as it is chic. The next pair by Jeffrey Campbell are comfy AND cute. Love that. And I am mildly obsessed with the next sequened pair, also by Jeffrey Campell. So. freaking. cool.
Row II: The AMAZING bronze leather thongs are by Prada and although they carry a slightly less-than-Prada price, they just might be the perfect splurge. And for that bohemian chic style, I heart these gold wrap sandals by Hollywould. Another ankle wrap, and equally stunning shoe, would be this one by Etiopia.
Row III: These dramatic shoes have a very slight heel which will give you that extra inch without killing your feet. Plus, they are super cute in a leather metallic and would look pretty under just about any dress. Particularly the really flowy ones. And speaking of heels, the next one by Chinese Laundry is a kitten heel and is total elegance. Love it. And lastly, I couldn’t help but throw in these amazing sandals. They are a little bit boho, a little bit Gladiator and a lot cuteness.
Those are just the tip of the iceberg really. If you are looking for a fabulous flat…J. Crew is the reigning queen of the ballet flat. Together with Anthropologie, Banana and Nordstrom you are sure to find the perfect fit. And if you still haven’t found the right shoe, one oh-so-smart reader reminded us that you can add a shoe clip, like these from B. Poetic, to give your simple but comfortable pair a facelift.
Here are a few more ballet flats that we are looooooving.

Row 1: The glittery, sparkly, all together girly flat is SO me. The first pair, by Juicy Couture, is total yumminess. The velvet, the jewels, the shape. All together yummy. Love these from Urban Outfitters and I love the price tag ($38) even better. And these black and metallic flats by Anthropologie…perfection for the sophisticated bride.
Row 2: I am completely obsessed with the detailing on this first shoe by J. Crew. The velvet flower is absolutely gorgeous and would add such a pretty little something-something to your feet fashions. Same goes for these perfect gold ones from Anthropolgie. And this little pink piece of perfection, well, I love you.
Oh and before I wind down on our shoe round-up, I couldn’t resist featuring a few from my latest obsession. The Gladiator. Perfect, perfect, perfect for the boho chic bride.

Probably my favorite collective row out of the whole bunch, these gladiator flats are so super cool under a pretty wedding dress. Definitely takes a certain style of dress and a certain style of bride, but if you can pull it off, I think that you are really awesome. First ones found at Nordstrom, second ones at Loeffler Randal and third by Nordstrom.
WHEW! I am having a major shoe hangover. Switching gears to an impossibly pretty real wedding coming up next!

Thanks for posting some flats! Shoe shopping was definitely the most difficult part of planning my wedding, which was last month. We got married outdoors and I had the hardest time finding cute flats. I wore the Jeffrey Campbell flats that are in the middle of the first row, and they were definitely very comfy!
Thanks, this is very helpful!
I hurt my knee two years ago and must wear flats. I wear 1-inch heels once in a while. At least, I am glad that we can easily find fabulous flats. Thanks for sharing those as I am always looking for stylish options.
Thank you for the flats, thank you, thank you!
I am 5'10" and don't plan on trying to be taller than absolutely everyone at my wedding. :)
I'm 5"10 and really don’t get the flat shoe idea for weddings at all! If anything get a lower heel if you must be that day is worth suffering just to achieve that sexy toned look the legs need for pictures or just the solo shoe shot alone that a flat just cant achieve! My groom is happy to stand on something to be in height level with me for the pictures HA!
The middle shoe in the third row (on the top...which the cute bow) might be exactly what I have been looking for. I'm not sure it is a Kate Spade though ... the link takes me to a different show. Am I missing something here?
Ditto Carrie's comment. It looks like the tag says Chinese Laundry...
Found it!

Yahoooo!!! Wow, that was an AMAZINGLY quick turnaround and I'm super grateful, thank you! And, I can't wait to see the pop of color round up, yessssss!!! :O)
left shoe, braided t-strap, third row....wrong link! Please advise I really like that shoe!
Should be fixed now...sorry!
The row III "these dramatic shoes" are still the wrong link! I really love that shoe too!
should be good.
How fun! I love the idea of flats for a wedding to go with a more comfortable shoe! - I also have some adorable flats that are ridiculously uncomfortable - it would be awesome to have a post on the most comfortable bridal shoes! Say one girl wears 5 popular wedding shoes: 1 a day for a workweek and report back to us! :) ... maybe not probable ... haha!
Maybe I'm alone here... but I'm rocking cowgirl boots @ my wedding!
Thank you for this great post! I ended up buying the Jeffrey Campbelle pearl flat. I have been searching all over for adorable flats for my wedding.
